Grand Truck Station at Mechanic Falls

Description

No info on the back of this old print so the date is an estimate. But in the WWI era when the photographer caught this winter scene this was part of the Grand Truck system and the MEC crossed this line a mile or so to the west. In this perspective on Elm St., Portland is to the right. As of 2021 the freight house still stood but the station was long gone and the line is operated by the Saint Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad. /DL
